PHILL ALEXANDER

Games

Writing for games,game theory, game design, game usability, social elements of gaming, games and collaboration. I do games.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion / Cultural Rhetorics

As one of few mixed-blood Cherokee scholars to study games and digital media, much of my work-- from research to service-- involves diversity and cultural issues. If you want to be more I by bringing in D and creating E, I can help.

Esports & Streaming

As a founder and co-director of the Miami University Varsity Esports Program (the first division one varsity Esports program), I'm at the forefront of collegiate Esports. I've taught classes and been invited to speak by major organizations like the MAC and GDC. I am currently the lead instructor in Miami's Masters in Esports Management, I co-taught the first college class we know of in America with a student, and I'm currently teaching several esports classes a year. I'm also a founding member and the chair of the competition committee for Esports Collegiate.

Writing

A born storyteller with degrees in rhetoric, writing, composition and creative writing, I'm usually pretty good with words. Except in little blurbs like this where I have to brag about myself. I'm a storyteller.

Visual Rhetorics

How we see things, and how we represent things, matters. Mascots, models, and manicured social media profiles-- we live in an era where the visual is curated in more dramatic ways than ever before.

Maker

I teach students by doing. I influence my world by doing. I honor and preserve my past... by doing. On my tombstone decades from now I hope it says "Phill made cool shit."
